Did the disaster effect the performance of the country and economy years after it happened?

Yes, disasters can significantly impact a country's performance and economy for years after they occur. The immediate destruction can lead to loss of infrastructure, displacement of populations, and reduced productivity, which may hinder economic growth. Additionally, long-term recovery efforts often divert resources from other development projects, affecting overall economic stability. Furthermore, the psychological and social effects on communities can also impede performance in various sectors for years to come.
